儿童读物现错误插图！出版社致歉……

近日，有网友发现，自己给孩子买的历史读物中出现事实性错误：在讲述甲午中日海战时，书中用了一张“丁汝昌投降图”。

据了解，该系列历史读物名为《写给孩子看的中国史》，出版方为北京工业大学出版社。10日，北京工业大学出版社发布情况通报称，该图书确实存在不当插图问题。已第一时间联系相关单位停止销售，全面收回销毁。学校已成立工作专班启动调查，并将依规依纪对相关责任人严肃处理。

A university publishing house in Beijing apologized on Wednesday for wrongly depicting Chinese hero Ding Ruchang in a children’s history book, after the issue was publicly criticized on Chinese social networking platforms. The publisher has promised to recall and destroy all the problematic books. 

In a statement released on Wednesday, Beijing University of Technology Press acknowledged its mistake for using an inappropriate illustration for the Chinese historical hero Ding Ruchang, who served as a commander of the Beiyang Fleet of the imperial Chinese navy during the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), in a book on history for young children. 

The publishing house has suspended online and offline sales of the book and promised to fully recall and destroy all the books. It expressed deep regret and apologized for the bad influence that  the mistake has caused. 

评论区怒了！网友：严查

此事一出，引发热议。不少网友表示，作为北洋水师提督，丁汝昌宁死不屈，自杀殉国，何来投降一说！

有网友看到帖子后表示难以理解，“完全是歪曲历史”！

In truth, Ding committed suicide after he refused to surrender to Japanese enemies in 1895. 

The post soon sparked online uproars against the book which netizens commented as “completely distorting the history” and brought outcry for immediate corrections. 

有网友表示：特意搜了一下图片来源，应该是源自日本歪曲历史的作品！

A netizen found out the origin of the illustration from a collection of ukiyoe prints which present the history of the first Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895 created by a group of Japanese artists, pointing out that the publishing house should have marked its origin and using without proper explanation can lead to misunderstanding. 

还有自称“丁汝昌后人”的网友留言表示：丁氏后人会跟出版社联系，考虑诉讼。

Another netizen who claimed to be a descendant of Ding said that the descendants of Ding's family would contact the publishing house and consider a lawsuit against such a smear to the national hero from a war merely over a hundred years ago. 

这段历史究竟是怎样的？

“决不弃报国大义，今唯一死以尽臣职。”甲午战争已经远去，但丁汝昌等人面对外侮所展现的气节，仍为人铭记。
